Okay, I'm really confused. This is from gossiportruth.com.

QUOTE
Although it allegedly aired live on Sunday, Gossip or Truth has discovered that the Emmy Awards were actually taped in May. Yes in May. What a scam!

The Emmys aired a month earlier than normal to accommodate NBC’s new NFL lineup.

“Getting stars to show up to the Emmy Awards is hard enough at any time, let alone in August when they know nobody is watching TV. August is a terrible time of the year for television. When NBC pushed the show back, we knew we had to tape this thing earlier because celebrities aren’t going to interrupt their vacations or rehab just for the prestige of an Emmy,” admitted Dick Askin, Chairman of the Television Academy.

The biggest problem in all this was not keeping the winners confidential, but making sure other TV stations will cover the whole event. I think Emmy is really going down. As far as I see it next year it won’t be any Emmys. There have even been some rumors of re-running the past shows instead of making new one.

"I put a lot of effort into keeping the winners secret, but it turned out nobody even tried to find out,” said Askin. Our main problem was that NBC’s scheduling department kept thinking the night was empty and wanted to burn off the remaining episodes of ‘Joey.’ They also told us we should do the Emmys just as a podcast. So our lawyers had to remind the network that it has a contractual obligation to air our ceremony in primetime.”

Heh, this is really funny.


So, the Emmy's wasn't live? blink.gif

What do you guys think about this?

I don't know. I don't watch the Emmy's. People on TV were complaining about the nominations and stuff.

I don't watch the Emmy's really, but I am suprised to hear that.
I'm not totally sure if that information is accurate though...

Obviously it's fake.
Ryan Seacrest hosted a contest, and if you won, you got to be a host. It went on two weeks before the Emmys or so.

And the nominees weren't even announced in May.

Don't believe everything you read and hear, especially from semi-obscure gossip sites rather than credible news sources.

^ Agreed.

But even if it was true, I never watch TV so it doesnt matter.

I'm really bothered that the title to the thread is "the Emmy's wasn't live" instead of "The Emmy's weren't live."

^ That's okay. _smile.gif

For some reason, I thought that was right..ermm.gif

Anyways. About the topic - I don't actually think it was true, I just found it really confusing how it would've even been possible. pinch.gif

So... a massive event like the emmys was staged and filmed without any media attention and leaking of the results in the month between it being 'recorded' and airing?

yes. i can TOTALLY see that happening.
